Notes
I love the taste of mandarins, but you can use any orange you love. If using a larger orange, you only need 1 orange for this recipe. If you don’t have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of your favourite orange juice. If your chia pudding comes out a bit liquidy, add an extra couple tsp of chia seeds and let sit to soak up the liquid. If your chia pudding is too thick for your liking, add a bit more coconut milk.

Thanks so much Bianca!
I really love your jars as well, Jess. Do they have lids, and can you please share where you purchased them? I’ve been using half pint canning jars with lids. They work fine and I like having lids to keep things fresh. But your jars are more elegant. Thanks so much!
